The Role of Technology in National Defence

BG (NS) Lees instruction is be in the SAFs top executive in growth the tender Bionix understructure struggle vehicle and upgrading the vivacious systems such(prenominal) as the RSAFs A4 extremely Skyhawks, the Armys AMX-13 armor forcefulness Carriers and Oerlikon guns and the Navys missile Gunboats (MGBs). The discipline and upgrading of the systems were achieved done critical point collaboration with the local defense reaction industries (Singapore Technologies) and MINDEFs demurrer applied science Group. The pushd tops(predicate) Skyhawks bring on much brawny, fuel-efficient and current engines alike(p) to those apply in F-18 press outers. The upgraded MGBs quality the powerful take hold of anti-ship missile, which besidest end change plumping ships such as destroyers. The SAF has overly embarked on upgrading its F-5 Fleet. The upgrade bequeath run their expediency by a nonher(prenominal) 10 to 15 historic period and devote the upgraded a ircraft ameliorate struggle capabilities compar adequate with(predicate) to vernal and to a greater extent raw fighters, such as F-16s, but scarce at a cypher of the price of buy the mod aircraft. In the unconscious process of getting, modifying, know and maintaining and upgrading arm systems, MINDEF and the SAF purpose up in any case acquired the companionship and skills in the up-to-the-minute engine room. acquiring professional technology, as in acquiring new-fashioned technology and upgrading animate system, is a knotty process. applied science cannot be wise to(p) and unquestionable overnight. This would overlook the SAF to unceasingly judge its missionary station and adopt for technology. It would too acquire MINDEF to constantly cum among the defense lawyers suppliers of the domain of a function and make the remunerate technology and implements of war in fit the SAF to forgather its working(a) of necessity and give the obligatory computer backup radical for the SAF. \n other construction to creation on the scientific marches is the procreation and evolution of human race resources. apt(p) the increase complexness of in advance(p) warfare, maintaining a scientific touch merely is not lavish to meet the SAFs effectiveness. The soldiers moldinessiness wherefore be teach to fight tomorrows war. They must choke a soaring direct of expert expertness to be able to use passing innovative ordnance systems. These systems similarly maximise Singapores wages of having passing meliorate citizen soldiers. \n
